MELISSA!!!!!

Ok so I have been having discharge of CM about the last 3 days I am 7 days DPO and its been ranging from wet to sticky and creamy. It dried up for about 4 days and now its back.. (Just don't tell me I am pregnant unless that's really all it could be.)

Well it's really hard to say anything for sure without looking at a chart in front of me, but what are your temperatures telling you? Have you experienced a thermal shift of 4/10th of a degree yet? If you have, you are likely in the clear as you have already ovulated. If you thought you were past ovulation due to dry up of mucus, but now it's back and you haven't had a temp shift yet, then you could be having a double mucus patch and ovulation hasn't yet occurred and could be just around the corner.

So the main thing is.....how do you know you're 7 DPO? How are you determining this? By the temp shift or just by a dry up of mucus you had? If by temps, then you've already ovulated and you should be in the clear. Also from the description (sticky, creamy mucus) sounds like less-fertile type anyhow (more fertile type is very wet, stretchy, and raw-egg white looking). Any mucus past a genuine thermal shift and previous mucus dry-up can be discounted as non-fertile type. Finally it's not uncommon for women to get some mucus again right before their periods start as estrogen is starting to go back up again in their cycle. So it could be that too.

CAROL!!!!!! :-) Just kidding......
